3. Here on the mercy-seat,
With radiant glory crown'd,
Our joyful eyes behold Him sit,
And smile on all around.

4. To Him their prayers and cries
All humbled souls present:
He listens to the broken sighs,
And grants them all they want.

5. To them his sovereign will

He graciously imparts;

And in return accepts with smiles,
The tribute of their hearts.

6. Give me, O Lord, a place

Within thy blest abode,

Among the children of thy grace,
The servants of my God.

That hear this joyful sound,
Which kings and prophets waited for,
And sought, but never found!

4. How blessed are our eyes,
That see this heavenly light!
Prophets and kings desired it long,
But died without the sight.

6. The Lord makes bare his arm
Through all the earth abroad:
Let every nation now behold
Their Saviour and their God.

Sel. 250.

WEL

[H. 485. ELCOME, sweet day of rest, That saw the Lord arise; Welcome to this reviving breast, And these rejoicing eyes. 2. The King himself comes near, And feasts his saints to-day; Here we may sit, and see Him here, And love and praise and pray.

3. One day amidst the place

Where my dear God hath been,
Is sweeter than ten thousand days
Of pleasurable sin.

4. My willing soul would stay
In such a frame as this,
And sit and sing herself away
To everlasting bliss.

(Stanza 1 in Music.)

2. Revive our drooping faith;

Our doubts and fears remove; And kindle in our breasts the flame

Of never-dying love.

3. Convince us of our sin,

Then lead to Jesus' blood;

And to our wondering view reveal
The gracious love of God.

4. 'Tis thine to cleanse the heart,

To sanctify the soul,

To pour fresh life on every part,
And new-create the whole.

5. Dwell, therefore, in our hearts;

Our minds from bondage free;
Then shall we know, and praise, and
The Father, Son, and Thee. [love,

Expand thy quickening wing, And o'er a dark and ruin'd world, Let light and order spring.

4. All on the earth, arise,

To God the Saviour sing, [heaven, From shore to shore, from earth to Let echoing anthems ring.

-LABAN. S. M.

And

[sin,

May purge our souls from sense and As Christ the Lord is pure.

5. If in my Father's love I share a filial part,

Send down thy Spirit like a dove,

To rest upon my heart.

(Stanza 6 omitted.)

ET sinners take their course,

LET si choose the road to death;

But in the worship of my God
I'll spend my daily breath.
2. My thoughts address his throne,
When morning brings the light;
I seek his blessing every noon,
And pay my vows at night.
3. Thou wilt regard my cries,
O my eternal God!
While sinners perish in surprise
Beneath thine angry rod.

4. Because they dwell at ease,
And no sad changes feel,

They neither fear, nor trust thy name, Nor learn to do thy will.

5. But I, with all my cares,

Will lean upon the Lord;

I'll cast my burden on his arm,
And rest upon his word.
